Blackburn Rovers make official approach for Michael Appleton

Derek Shaw, Managing Director of Blackburn Rovers said: "I can confirm that we have made an official approach to Blackpool FC about our interest in speaking to Michael Appleton. This is the only candidate we have approached for the manager's job."

He's only been in the job for 2 months.

They are so out of touch, it's ridiculous.

Appletons win rate at Portsmouth - 25%.

Win rate at Blackpool - 18%.

Billy Davies and Sean O'Driscoll are 2 excellent ex Forest managers both out of work.

You'd think they'd go for one of them.

Hopefully, if either do get approached, they laugh at the Venky's then say no

They should appoint Alan Knill.

Seriously though.

The amount of times, I have been slightly happy in anticipation for even a minor improvement, to only be slapped in the face, and having an even bigger joke brought in each and every time.


The internal members of the team dont seem to be agreeing on anything at all, and its just one gigantic gongshow.

Venky's have too much control in the worst of times, and then willingly take poor advice from the idiots on the inside, at the same time, even if it contradicts something they've stated publicly just a day before, even if that thing they said the day before, didn't have quite as much clueless-ness as normal from them . Shaw and Singh. Just gtfo.

Blackburn confirm the appointment of Blackpool’s Michael Appleton as their new manager #brfc #bbcfootball

Venky's out, Kean IN.

Should never have sacked Kean.

Should never have sacked Allardyce.

Should never have let cricket people buy a football club to be honest.

Just because they're Indian doesn't mean they only know about Cricket.

Good point tonight hopefully Bowyer can stay on as reserve manager

Yes, yes it does. They certainly don't know anything at all about football.

I'm so confused
